This last Friday 23th thru the 26th of November the Volcom facility in Costa Mesa congregated themost talented Amateurs in the planet when the Damn Am competition took place. We were there to check the unfuckingbelievable tricks this guys were bringing from different parts of the US and abroad. Of course at the Damn Am we are never disappointed and the event went like we expected, starting from the qualifiers to the ollie contest to the final and a few weirdos this event is always a great time to hang out with your friends and see the future of the industry pushing their limits to secure their place in it.
We have taken a few photos of the high ollie competition and the finals. I will not talk to much about it because I think we have enough visual material for you to enjoy without having me telling you a story. (also because i am tired an is almost midnight and my sleepy time is long past due).
Here you go, enjoy!
Tommy Fynn, The Best Style of the contest for sure. Backside Smith.
